40.1: Animal form and function are correlated at all levels
of organisation

 Physical laws constrain the evolution of an animal’s size and shape. These
constraints contribute to convergent evolution in animal body forms.
 Each animal cell must have access to an aqueous environment. Simple
two-layered sacs and flat shapes maximize exposure to the surrounding
medium. More complex body plans have highly folded internal surfaces
specialized for exchanging materials.
 Animal bodies are based on a hierarchy of cells, tissues, organs, and
organ systems. Epithelial tissue forms active interfaces on external and
internal surfaces; connective tissue binds and supports other tissues;
muscle tissue contracts, moving body parts; and nervous tissue transmits
nerve impulses throughout the body.
 The endocrine and nervous systems are the two means of
communication between different locations in the body. The endocrine
system broadcasts signaling molecules called hormones everywhere via
the bloodstream, but only certain cells are responsive to each hormone.
The nervous system uses dedicated cellular circuits involving electrical
and chemical signals to send information to specific locations.

35.1: Plants have a hierarchical organization
consisting of organs, tissues and cells

 Vascular plants have shoots consisting of stems, leaves, and, in


angiosperms, flowers. Roots anchor the plant, absorb and conduct water
and minerals, and store food. Leaves are attached to stem nodes and are
the main organs of photosynthesis. The axillary buds, in axils of leaves
and stems, give rise to branches. Plant organs may be adapted for
specialized functions.
 Vascular plants have three tissue systems—dermal, vascular, and ground
—which are continuous throughout the plant. The dermal tissue is a
continuous layer of cells that covers the plant exterior. Vascular tissues
(xylem and phloem) facilitate the long-distance transport of substances.
Ground tissues function in storage, metabolism, and regeneration.
 Parenchyma cells are relatively undifferentiated and thin-walled cells
that retain the ability to divide; they perform most of the metabolic
functions of synthesis and storage. Collenchyma cells have unevenly
thickened walls; they support young, growing parts of the plant.
Sclerenchyma cells—sclereids and fibers—have thick, lignified walls
that help support mature, nongrowing parts of the plant. Tracheids and
vessel elements, the water- conducting cells of xylem, have thick walls
and are dead at functional maturity. Sieve-tube elements are living but
highly modified cells that are largely devoid of internal organelles; they
function in the transport of sugars through the phloem of angiosperms.

32.2: Different meristems generate new cells for primary
and secondary growth

35.3: Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots

 The root apical meristem is located near the tip of the root, where it
generates cells for the growing root axis and the root cap.
 The apical meristem of a shoot is located in the apical bud, where it gives
rise to alternating internodes and leaf-bearing nodes.

 Eudicot stems have vascular bundles in a ring, whereas monocot stems


have scattered vascular bundles.
 Mesophyll cells are adapted for photosynthesis. Stomata, epidermal
pores formed by pairs of guard cells, allow for gaseous exchange and are
major avenues for water loss.

35.4: Secondary growth increases the diameter of stems
and roots in woody plants
